And a local club used to have a phone booth with selectable background sound recordings. So if that was someplace you were not supposed to be, you could make yourself an alibi.
Here in Seattle, we've seen the opposite where the city engineers create all sorts of new choke points trying to jam bike lanes that nobody actually uses in places that don't make any sense.
When they added their last batch of bike lanes, they interviewed a bunch of people on the local news. One guy ran a bicycle messenger service and stated that he had warned his employees not to use the lanes. Too dangerous.
Many of the bike lanes are parallel to residential streets that cyclists tend to prefer.
Because the residents don't want bicycles in their neighborhoods.
... put the bicycles and pedestrians underground. And when it turns out that this solves most of the traffic problems, leave the surface streets to the cars.
To be fair, they aren't property owners anymore after the train authority buys their land. The people that suffer are the ones living next to boarded up houses and buildings. This I don't get. Why doesn't the municipality just pass an ordinance that these unoccupied structures be bulldozed within (say) 30 days of a sale. No crack houses. No dens full of bums. Just flat land. Lease it to a parking management outfit (for example) for a few years until it's time for construction. And someone will have an incentive to police it.
Seattle does this as well. Sell a building to developers and they can't flatten it until the building permits are finalized. They are almost advertising for hobos to move to the city and take up residence in boarded up structures.
I can recall seeing 'burger patty conveyors' that flame grilled on one side and when the patty reached the end, it flipped itself onto a second belt, cooking the other side.
Back in my days working on secret stuff, meeting room windows were equipped with piezoelectric transducers used to defeat laser inferometer microphones. It's possible that our embassy was so equipped. This would explain one ultrasonic source. Possibly even multiple sources in rooms with lots of windows and poorly installed systems.
But in a broader sense, video games are unrealistic. When you get shot in a game, it should cease to work. In fact, it should erase the entire contents of your computer. And delete your social media accounts. You are dead. No more fun stuff.
For some people shot in-game, the software should scramble all your data, making it unreadable. And the game controls should respond slowly, if at all. Just like suffering a traumatic brain injury.
You evidently aren't a user yet. Or you would already know the answers to these questions.
Users would ask things like:
Why doesn't Feature X work properly?
When are you going to port your product to something other than XP/IE6?
What about all these bugs?
But in my industry, once you become a user, you have signed all sorts of ND agreements and licenses which prohibit you from speaking to anyone other then the vendor about the above topics. Getting users together in a room would be an app vendor's worst nightmare.
Or I set up a Bitcoin wallet and do my own trading for gold, AK-47s, hours of software develpment labor, etc. And I buy food, gasoline and Ferraris with my Bitcoin.
I can see this going horribly wrong. What if the arrow you are seeing on the pavement is being projected by the car next to you? Why not just a heads-up display for this sort of thing?
No X11 support in Windows. So while I might be able to connect to a Windows file or web server (if one actually exists), there is no desktop support in Windows.

I'm assuming these clubs are typically very noisy

why should they not schedule their school district's time to end before sunset?
Negotiating with teachers' unions. That's why.
Arr rook same!

No. But if it crashes in the USA, Trump will charge them a tariff for importing steel and aluminum.
It's also been a nightmare for property owners along the route for this expensive but imaginary train, thanks to eminent domain

Oh, never mind.

One figure might be mass whereas the other is volume. Or radius (since they were talking about depth as well).

What does your product do?
How much does it cost?

Did people really think they could just create a financial market which was outside of government control?
Yes.

You call that a laugh? I'll start worrying when Alexa does this.
Magnets are magic.

and use the force.
Linux that runs on top of the "Windows kernel"
And I could put a Lamborghini body kit on a Fiero. But why would I do that if they are giving Aventadors away for free?
